Oxadiazon is an aromatic ether that is widely utilized in several industries for weed control. It finds huge applications as an herbicide to control grassy weeds in agricultural farms, mainly for cotton, rice, soybean, and sunflower, to ensure better crop yields. Moreover, the compound is also used to prevent and control the growth of annual grasses and broadleaf weeds in the parks, golf courses, and residential lawns. It is often utilized to control unwanted grass or weed growth along highways, roads, and industrial sites to maintain clear pathways. Additionally, it also finds its application in nurseries and landscape ornamental beds to control weeds and facilitate better quality and increased growth of decorative plants.

The demand for Oxadiazon is primarily driven by its role as a pre-emergent herbicide for controlling the growth of certain annual grasses and broad-leaved weeds in lawns and turf, which significantly boosts its market growth. Its selective nature of targeting weeds and sparing desirable plants proves to be beneficial. It makes it valuable in both agricultural and non-agricultural settings by ensuring safety, visibility, and access. Moreover, its application for efficient weed management in non-crop areas, such as residential properties, along highways, parks, and sports fields, further increases its demand in the industrial vegetation management industry. Additionally, its employment for efficient weed control, the availability and cost of raw materials like isopropanol, hydrazine etc., regulatory compliance, quality standards, supplier relationships, efficient distribution, and logistics are some major factors that globally influence industrial Oxadiazon procurement.

Raw Material for Oxadiazon

According to the Oxadiazon manufacturing plant project report, the major raw materials for Oxadiazon production include 1,2,4,5-Tetrachlorobenzene- Isopropanol-Hydrazine-Pivaloyl Chloride-Phosgene.

Manufacturing Process of Oxadiazon

The extensive Oxadiazon production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing process:

1. Production via Chemical Synthesis: This method of production involves multiple chemical reactions for the synthesis of Oxadiazon. In this method, 1,2,4,5-Tetrachlorobenzene is used as the starting material that is reacted with isopropanol to form an ether. Further, the obtained ether compound is reacted with hydrazine, which introduces nitrogen atoms into the structure to give an amine, followed by its reaction with pivaloyl chloride to form an amide. Then, the obtained amide compound undergoes phosgenation on reaction with phosgene that forms the oxadiazole ring, which results in the formation of Oxadiazon.

Oxadiazon appears in the form of a crystalline solid that serves as an herbicide. The molecular formula of the compound is C15H18Cl2N2O3, and its molar mass is 345.2 g/mol. The compound is also known as Ronstar. Moreover, the melting point of the compound is 88-90°C, and its boiling point is 417.0°C. The compound is generally stored sealed in a dry place between 2-8°C. Its density is 1.4130 gm/cm3, and the value of its dissociation constant (pka) is -2.73. Additionally, the compound appears in the form of an odorless, light yellow waxy solid that is slightly soluble in chloroform and ethyl acetate. The solubility of oxadiazon in water is 0.7mg/L(24 ºC). It also forms explosive combinations with strong oxidizing agents, such as peroxides. The chemical name of the compound is 5-tert-butyl-3-(2,4-dichloro-5-isopropoxyphenyl)-1,3,4-oxadiazol-2(3H)-one.
